What is a Secret Disney Vacation?

Walt Disney World is super fun when you go with the kids, but sometimes you might wonder what it's like to experience the Disney magic without having the kids in tow. That's where the Secret Disney Vacation comes in. The Secret Disney Vacation is a term that I created many years ago when I was a Disney travel advisor. It started with one couple who wanted to plan a Disney vacation just for the two of them. So they needed everything to be covert so the kiddies wouldn't catch on.

In this Episode, I ask 12-year-old Amelia to take on the role of hacker by telling us all the ways that a kid may find out about the Secret Disney Vacation, so that you can use this intel to avoid getting caught.

Walt Disney World for Adults: What to See and Do

Above and beyond the Secret Disney Vacation, most of Episode 21 is all about what to see and do on an adults-only vacation to Walt Disney World. We share the top picks and must-dos to help you plan the perfect Disney World vacation for adults, whether or not it's a Secret Disney Vacation.

We hope that you enjoyed The Secret Disney Vacation. If you have tips or advice -- or a story about planning your own Secret Disney Vacation -- be sure to share it with us. We would love to hear from you.
